Does anyone have any recommendation other than ‘contact a RE attorney?

Looking forward to some creative responses and hopefully a tax attorney referral! 

Have your attorney if they have REI clients review it.  

If you don't hire a PM refer to a attorney.

@Sandee SampsonA construction attorney would be who to contact but you are going to spend a lot more than $7000 in getting this resolved against a builder.Also let’s say you win, the courts could also say you didn’t pay for a retaining wall which is needed so it’s a betterment to the property so you would still need to pay for the wall and they would be responsible for some soil etc.

You get a lease agreement from an attorney.

Develop relationships with contractors you’ll need; attorney, appraisers, loan officiers, brokers, inspectors, etc. 5.

If I could offer one key piece of advice, it would be to focus on building your CORE 4: a great realtor, contractor, attorney, and property manager.

@Carl TrubLots of legal and tax implications - you should look at having them put the home in a living trust.I am not an attorney but there are ways to make it so your cost basis is today's value versus a lower value such as if you buy it at a low cost.

DM me, and I will send you contacts for attorneys, lenders, and accountants they have previously used.
